INSPIRATION!!!!
Once more unto the Baize , dear , Comrades once more;
Or close the wall up with our HitSquad dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of Poker blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise Your Hand with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled Limp
O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest HitSquad.
Whose blood is fet from fathers that be Bluff-proof!
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought
And sheathed their Pocket Pairs for lack of argument:
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to RAISE And you, good Squaddies,
Whose limbs were, made on SkyPoker show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this Flop
Cry 'God for Tikay, SkyPoker, and The HitSquad!'
William Shakespeare & The Hitman
Will start with part of the post that set the ball rollin as an intro, then will list members which I will update when necs...............................
"As there may be some sort of Cardiff SPT 2010 challenge thrown down by Machka, thought we better Start our own thread!!
This Elite 'HitSquad' started when Four of us went to our first ever SPT at LUTON just over a year ago[feb2010?], we were alll Rabbish then, but have focused on gettin better!!
Now we have heard there is another Hitsquad [Praz etc], we are detemined to knock them off their perch, along with Sky 'superstars' TKP!! lol , and even the Famous Team Sky LOL !!
Original Members HITMANRV, Monkey123, sicswans, marc2000, and 'adopted' at the Luton Bar, Mohican, have laid low for a year building our poker skills, we are now ready to unleash on the Poker world, startin with Cardiff SPT !!
First 'Sky' person we ever met was the ever polite Machka, at our Luton hotel, so this has gone round full circle. Now TKP has developed fully into The premier Sky 'team' lol so to speak!!
We Shall be CONDUCTING INTERVIEWS for other POSSIBLE TEAM MEMBERS over the next few weeks!!
There will be some intense tests & a suitabilty scrutiny will have to be carried out, so that insanity is proven etc!!

David Harvey - http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002504449773&ref=ts
also im there now as of last night well excited gonna jam in a few eyes and take it down!
I've started playing Bounty Hunters a lot more but need some advice.........I've tried being more aggressive and getting a few bounties but never making the paid positions, and I've played less aggressive only getting 1 bounty but finishing in a paid position.................I can't seem to do both!!!!
Is it just a case of practice makes perfect??
I like playing the bounties. I liken it to carp fishing in a spawning pool. most players are ultra aggressive. dont worry too much about the early bounties are they are not going anywhere. main thing it to try and keep above ave chip stack. so as not to become fish food. Also take on more of the 50/50 calls
Also Lisa, others may disagree, But if i have Good/very Pair pre, dont mind shoving or shoving over a raise!!
OR have Hit say Nuts, top pr gd kicker, or have overpr to board post flop, Reason is You are more likley to get people callin on their draws or rag aces!! Fine you will get caught once in what, 3 or 4, but by that time you should have 2/3 bounties and a stack which can stand it!!
Basically few looser players about chasing bounties, so you may as well charge in full!!
I am waiting for top hands then Charging much more of a premium to see cards than normal!!
As tourney progresses you may want to change style to suit table, but look out for people with low chipstacks obsviously, but esp those with lower chip stacks & few bounties on heads, means they may have been pretty loose, and worth a race with these!!
As final table approaches remember the cash laddering is massive cause of the higher bounties if you take anyone, so maybe pick your spots & targets, AGAIN All player dependant!!
GL
i dont really play them but wen i do tend to pick up a few bounties with my natural game, early on dont worry bout the bounties but you can make some marginal calls or shoves eg. get in with 99-10s if you think they have overs, sometimes may even be against worse pp. if you hit a big hand think of the best way to extract value if you think they call a shove with a draw do it! and so on, essentially your main aim should be to win the tournament as that will give you the most but any bounties on the way are an added bonus.
In regards to your style lisa i'd loosen up a bit for BH can always talk on fb for more details/advice
GL xx
Just play your normal game and the bounties will take care of themselves.
Might have a wee go at a BH later so I'll see how it goes.....if u don't hear back it has all ended in tears lol
Cheers guys xx

Month of August Bounty Bonus!
Any player who eliminates James Hartigan from a DTD tournament will go into a draw at the end of August to win a £110 Sky Roller entry. Knock him out of more than one event pants (Have to Play all 3 Tourneys). So, if a random Deep Stack entrant knocks him out, they don't go into the draw.
New Weekly Prize Structure below based on runners playing all 3 Tourneys- - - Last week we had 102 Runners who played all 3
50 runners = Fridays TSP Cassic Entry
75 runners = Saturdays £22 Open Entry
100 runners = Thursdays £33 BH Entry
MONDAY FORUM DTD INCLUDING THE AUGUST LEAGUE
Hi all & welcome to the Forum DTD Last Longer which takes place every Monday & as a Bonus Sky Adam has put up the Prizes (see above)
The structure is 3 Tourneys lowest score wins (see below) to take part simply post on this thread BEFORE Monday 7-10pm. I will be doing the updates every week now
Here's how it is going to work.
Your 3 scores are added together & the lowest wins the Prize
Your score in each tournament will be based on your finishing position.
So, if you finish 1st, 5th and 92nd your score will be 1 + 5 + 92 = 98
Please note that in the event of a tie the player with the lowest finishing position in a comp will be deemed the winner
eg if 2 players both finish on 30 pts and 1 finishes a tourny in 1st & the other 2nd the player finishing in the 1st place will be deemed the winner
7-15pm Deepstack buy-in £2-20
8-30pm Totty buy-in £2-207-45pm Deepstack buy-in £1-10
If you have any questions i will try to answer them on this thread.
RIGHT THE MONDAY AUGUST DTD LEAGUE BIT
As a thank you for the excellent support you all continue to show
Starting on Monday August 1st
and running for 5 weeks We will be running a Monthly comp alongside the usual weekly one
so thats the 1st / 8th /15th /22th & 29th August. It won't cost any extra it's a bonus
Your best 3 scores out of the 5 will be added together and an average score taken
The player who achieves the lowest average will win (see below)
100 runners – £55 Primo Seat
150 runners – £110 Sky Roller Seat
200 runners – £220 Sunday Roller SeatAbove is based on number of different players in a Month (last month we had 108)
the rules bit.
